Assay of Ornithine Decarboxylase and Spermidine/Spermine N1-acetyltransferase Activities
Bio-Protocol, 2014 The polyamines, spermidine (Spd) and spermine, and their diamine precursor putrescine, are important regulators of various cellular functions, such as proliferation and differentiation.

Dietary Modification of UV-Induced Epidermal Ornithine Decarboxylase [PDF]
, 1980 The effect of several dietary antioxidant supplements upon ultraviolet light-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity was determined. Hairless mice received diets supplemented with either butylated hydroxytoluene, disulfiram, phenobarbital, glutathione ...

Post-Transcriptional Suppression of Human Ornithine Decarboxylase Gene Expression by Phorbol Esters in Human Keratinocytes [PDF]
, 1994 The induction of ornithine decarboxylase levels by the phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol- 13-acetate (TPA) in mouse skin has been shown to be integral to tumor promotion by TPA, and changes in ornithine decarboxylase activity indicate the ...

Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and AMXT 1501 inhibit capsule biosynthesis in pneumococci
Scientific Reports, 2022 Polyamines are small cationic molecules that have been linked to various cellular processes including replication, translation, stress response and recently, capsule regulation in Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn, pneumococcus).

Ornithine decarboxylase expression in the human and mouse adult prostate. [PDF]
, 2015 In the adult human prostate, ornithine decarboxylase protein was expressed in the basal and luminal cells of the epithelium (A). The negative control with primary antibody omitted showed no staining (B).

Posttranscriptional Regulation of Ornithine Decarboxylase [PDF]
, 2011 Activity of the polyamine biosynthetic enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and intracellular levels of ODC protein are controlled very tightly. Numerous studies have described ODC regulation at the levels of transcription, translation, and protein degradation in normal cells and dysregulation of these processes in response to oncogenic stimuli ...
